How Do You Fix Dents With A Slide Hammer?
Dents can be repaired in multiple ways, but the only sure way to repair any dent, no matter the depth or size, is to use a slide hammer. A slide hammer is also called a dent puller and is used by every body shop to remove dents. The slide hammer can completely repair a dent when used in conjunction with a few other materials, including body filler and primer. Step 1 Drill multiple holes in the dent in various places. Drill one hole in the center and more holes a few inches apart, scattered throughout the dent. Step 2 Place the tip of the slide hammer in one of the holes. The tip of the slide hammer is threaded and works like a screw. Turn the hammer until it is screwed into the hole.
